The Benefit of NRA CET
Taking the NRA CET for Bank, SSC, and Railway exams has the following advantages:
Candidates can appear at one location for all exams.
Every district across the nation will have a minimum of one NRA CET exam center, now candidates from rural areas can also take these tests. Two centers will also be located in the Ladakh district.
The government estimates savings of up to Rs. 600 crores through standardizing the examination procedure.
As there will only be one exam for the Bank, SSC, and Railway recruitment, you can now stop worrying about exam dates conflicting.
Those who wish to take more than one SSC exam but were forced to choose only one because of conflicting exam dates can benefit greatly from the CET exam. Presenting a single CET exam now allows them to appear for numerous SSC exams. As noted by Honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Twitter, this will also significantly increase transparency.
Depending on the students’ educational backgrounds and degree of difficulty, different NRA CET sessions will be held for graduates, 12th pass, and 10th pass students.
The CET will take the place of all tier 1 examinations offered by different government agencies.
It would also be available for adoption by other public and private agencies, should they so desire. Eventually, the Central Government, State Governments/Union Territories, Public Sector Undertaking, and the Private Sector could all use the CET score to fill positions.
